Doug, How long did it take for you to receive the kit after placing the order?

The kit arrived in a small box and included two assembled boards and a small bag of parts and hardware. The assembly went great with instructions available at the Harbach site. The instructions are basically Heathkit style and if you can follow directions, can solder, and have the rudimentary tools needed then you are good to go. I did most of the assembly in one night, but had to wait for the power cord gland I had ordered. The gland method of power cord restraint works very well. The only problem was the cover lip at that location was too long because the new gland was larger than the original wire strain relief. I just broke off the lip, which meant that the screw position could not be used. The bottom cover has many screws, and one missing is no big deal. I have not updated any other Drake supplies or used other products so I can only speak for this design and if I had it to do over again, I would not hesitate using this one.
es4ac-4ac $74.95
